major problem with my w850i

[madtaff]

has anyone else had the same problem as what ive got with my daughters w850. its on the 3 network and was working fine until i tryed to unlock it via xs++ and netools ive flashed it a few times and its still here. the problem is it turns it self off and back on every 20-30 secs also its showing signal but wont conect to any networks? ive run sony ericsson update and its still the same,i also took it to a mobile phone shop yesterday and he just looked at it quickly and said its like that as its been reported lost/stolen but the thing is ive phoned up 3 today and had a good chat with them and gave them the imei number and its showing the phone if clear to use. im at my wits end now as this was suposed to be my daughters birthday present....

Well sinc eyou used XS++ you patched unlocked it. And then you tried Seus, then Seus should remove the patch. I've heard about this problem on this website before, Ill try and find the thread.

Or you could try it again:

The tutorial:

this is bugging me now,is there anyway i can get my phone back to the orignal way ie working and locked to 3 lol.

hiii reflash that phone with main firmware ! and try your luck
and then also flash FS.. then go for unlock

also post logs that we can see !
i know one person who had same problem but fixed it after reflash ... !

[madtaff]

lets get this right run setools and re-flash the main firmware,once finished run setool again this time just with the fs? or can i add the 2 files togther and flash once?

[madtaff]

ive done that and its still the same heres the log file from it

ive also locked this back on 3 and still got the same faults? can anyone please help

[madtaff]

yesssssssss ive just fixed it,the fault was my gdfs file was all knackered so i went about flashing a gdfs file of my wifes phone and patching it and its all fixed, happy days. huge weight off my shoulders...

and before anyone says it cant be done,well i can 100% say yes it can thanks to some help of a very friendly guy off another forum who has cracked sonys gdfs files and now can be repaired via your usb cable and setools.
